Chassis Mount Resistors: TGHGCR0200DE Application Field and Working Principle

A Chassis Mount Resistor is an electrical component that is designed to reduce the voltage by limiting the flow of current in a circuit. It is also commonly known as a resistor. Chassis Mount Resistors work by adding a series resistance to the current passing through the circuit in order to reduce the voltage. They are usually installed onto printed circuit boards but can also be mounted to a mounting surface for more secure and reliable usage.

The TGHGCR0200DE is a 10 watt chassis mount resistor developed by TE Connectivity. This low-cost unit utilizes a single small form-factor sculptured element and thermal management with uni-directional epoxy mounting for printed circuit board applications. The TGHGCR0200DE offers advanced performance and functionality in a package size about 1/10th that of conventional axial package resistors. It is used in many applications that require a small chassis mount resistor for the benefit of its size and light weight.

The TGHGCR0200DE is an ideal device for high volume applications, such as consumer electronics. It is also suitable for medical application, such as in pacemakers, since its low form factor allows it to be securely mounted on surfaces such as metals, plastics and even human bodies. It can also serve as a domestic appliance component, providing low noise and high accuracy for appliances such as washing machines and other automated machines. In addition, it is suitable for use in commercial and military applications providing low inductance and high power dissipation.

Working Principle: The TGHGCR0200DE is a passive electrical component that works to reduce the flow of current in a circuit by introducing a form of resistance to it. This resistance is achieved by the use of a resistance element composed of metal, such as gold, platinum, palladium or iron. This element is usually located within a series of tiny coils and is designed to dissipate heat by increasing cooling efficiency.

When an electrical current is passed through the resistive element, it creates resistance, which, in turn, reduces the voltage of the current passing through the circuit. The amount of resistance created is determined by the size and number of coils in the element, which in turn determines the voltage drop of the resistor and, thus, the power dissipated. As the power dissipated increases, so too does the need for greater cooling efficiency, which is why the TGHGCR0200DE features thermal management for effective heat dissipation.

The TGHGCR0200DE also features a uni-directional epoxy mounting which helps to ensure that the component is securely and reliably mounted onto the printed circuit board and to its corrosion resistance in hostile environments. The epoxy helps to reduce the risk of electronic damage caused by short-term and long-term atmospheric exposure.

In conclusion, the TGHGCR0200DE is an ideal chassis mount resistor for various applications due to its small size and light weight. It offers advanced performance and functionality with its resistance element made from a series of tiny coils and its uni-directional epoxy mounting for secure installation onto printed circuit boards. With its superior cooling efficiency and long-term atmospheric corrosion protection, the TGHGCR0200DE is the ideal choice for many applications.
